SIGITS

Gathering

A familiar voice, even one that I miss all the time.

“ Afternoon Sir.” I said as I raised my head from earlier focused on playing HP and stood up to greet the man, how shocked it was when I saw the man. God, am I dreaming if I do, please do not wake me from this dream.

“ Risya.” Said Sigit in a surprised tone when he saw me. It wasn't just Dy who was surprised that I was much more shocked than him. Is what is in front of me is true – Sigit that I have been looking for so far. 6 years we have not met and this is the first time we met again. Although it has been a long time but not much change in Sigit so I am still easy to recognize it (sound Element “ Secret Heart “ )

“ Hy Sigit, so you are the owner of this parlor ?” I said as I reached out my hand to greet him.

“ Yes Risya, please sit down,” Said Sigit while replying to my hand, his hand still feels warm like 6 years ago when I last shook hands with him when we graduated, her smile still felt the same when Dy last smiled at me back then. Dy is currently standing in front of me wearing a Maroon shirt and black pants although looks more mature but Dy remains the same Sigit, Sigitku in 6 years ago.

“ How are you currently Risya.” Said Sigit who was now sitting on the sofa beside me. Ms. Risma gave us a hot tea and a snack but Dy went straight back to the kitchen leaving us both.

“ I'm good – is fine, how about you.” I said to Sigit, maybe my body is good – fine but do you know Sigit my heart for 6 years is very bad, half my heart is lost with you.

“ I'm also good – fine, previously I want to listen to you for helping Ega and helping children – children here.” Said Sigit to me with his sweetest smile. But what Dy said was that Dy was good – is fine, whereas I still remember what Bu Risma said that the owner of this parlour was a person who had cancer too. God is it true – is true Sigit.

“ Yes same – same, coincidentally it is also our duty as a candidate for a Doctor.” I said while drinking the warm tea given by Ms. Risma earlier.

“ Wah so you are a prospective Doctor then can I be your patient.?” Said Sigit who made my heart instantly like it stopped beating, is it true that Dy is now sick.?

“ Hey Risya, you why bengong.” Said a sigit staring at my face close.

“ Oh sorry, I just remembered something. What pain do you have that wants to be my patient.” I said while looking back at his face. His face is so close to me. My heart is much more racing at the moment. This was the first time we looked at each other.

“ My pain is here.” Said Sigit pulling my hand and touching his chest, right in his heart. If you knew Sigit that there was a medicine that could heal the wounds of the heart maybe I would take it first so that I wouldn't feel any pain when I missed you.

My tears could not be contained anymore, as soon as I shed these tears of longing. Sigit drew her close to me and hugged my body warmly.

“ What you cry for, don't cry for me who hurt you. Don't cry for me the one who can't make you happy, I'm not the man you deserve to cry for but I'm much more deserving of being the man you hate.” Said Sigit whispering the word – words in my ear that made my heart even more hurt and sad. Don't you know Sigit I can't forget you.

            Even though the rainstorm is against my feelings for you

            Although the towering Mountain is dripping my memory of you

            I don't know why this Heart and Mind can't erase you from my memory

            I don't know why these hearts and minds can't bury you

            and drowned him in the vast sea.

            If only I could hate you

            Maybe I did it a long time ago.

From inside Bu Risma and Via who watched their meeting wept and were moved.

“ So did Bu Risma already know from the beginning about Risya and Sigit?” Ask Via to Bu Risma who was planning their meeting.

“ Yes nak Via, I know from the first time I saw Nak Risya, I remembered the photo on the room table Mas Sigit. I also remembered the story of Mas Sigit who told me about Nak Risya. He did not want to see Risya sad if he knew that Mas Sigit was seriously ill. Mas Sigit has been sick since 6 months before graduating from school, and was convicted of developing benign brain cancer. But gradually the disease is growing and gnawing his body until now has the final stage.6 years Dy fought hard to fight the pain. Sigit intentionally

avoiding Risya all this time, Dy also founded this home under the name Knaker Risya House because of the magnitude of Love Dy towards Risya's son. Just because it wants to see Risya happy so Dy chooses to see Risya happy with others.” Said Bu Risma to Via with a deep sobbing, it turns out that during this Love Risya was reciprocated by Sigit but if God had planned all this, God had planned all this, maybe if Sigit is good – fine they will live happily.

Via who listened to the story of Bu Risma also rebuked and grieved and did not expect that Sigit so far suffered for 6 years. Dy hid his pain from everyone including his family. And the only ones who knew Dy was sick were Doctor and Miss Risma. Children – children in this orphanage do not know the real Sigit kedaan. Dy always looks cheerful in front of the child – the child.

“ Oh my God, I can't afford to give this reality to Risya. How much Dy would be sad to hear this reality.” Said Via who looked limp after hearing all the stories from Bu Risma and did not stop – hentinya crying.

“ Let Mas Sigit tell nak Risya himself. All I know is that the age of Mas Sigit is soon.” Said Miss Risma who could not hold back her tears.
